It means very little in terms of your child’s learning. You’d get a better understanding from GOLD scores but those are not public.

It is just a classroom, lead teacher specific, observation. It does not include admin.

It’s an assessment used in early childhood settings that evaluates the environment to determine how everyone is supported in terms of emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support.


Does that include the principal, admin, etc. or just the teacher and the aide?

When does OSSE publicly post scores from CLASS observations? I’ve been checking and the latest one I saw posted was from 23-24 school year.
